The changing face of money.

[woodychitwn]

The U.S. Mint is thinking about changing the color of the paper used in making money. They intend to keep the ink black on the front and green on the back, but the paper itself will have colors added to make it more difficult to counterfit. What do you think?

Well they already changed it not too long ago. If they make it harder all I can think is damn, time to find a new way to make money (j/k of course) =]

How are they going to do that? People can still counterfeit the older money? What are they planning on doing...going around and collecting ALL the old bills from everyone? BAD BAD Idea

It's been done in the past with our coins and bills. I beleive with silver certificates if you didn't turn them in by a certan time you were stuck with worthless paper.

Coins and bills slowly leave circulation all the time. Collection from banks, the post office, and other institutions go to the shredder if money is too old. Yes you could produce counterfeit older bills, but as they are less and less common they will be scrutinized more.
